Selling on Consignment
Pricing, fees, timelines, and paperwork for selling your car through Carco.
- What is car consignment and how does it work?
- Car consignment allows you to sell your vehicle through Carco without dealing with the hassle of private listings or low trade-in offers. You keep ownership while we professionally market, show, and sell your vehicle for top dollar. Once it sells, we handle the paperwork and pay you the agreed amount minus our flat service fee.
- Why consign my car instead of selling it myself?
- Consigning your car with Carco means less time wasted, no strangers at your home, and no need to negotiate with buyers. We attract more serious buyers, handle all calls and appointments, and ensure your car is showcased professionally, helping you get more money without the stress.
- How much more can I make with consignment?
- On average, our consignment clients earn 10 to 30% more than they would from a trade-in or wholesale offer. By listing your vehicle at a competitive retail price and marketing it across multiple platforms, we ensure it gets maximum exposure and top value.
- Is there a cost to list my vehicle on consignment?
- No upfront costs. We only charge a flat service fee once your vehicle sells. If it doesn't sell, you don't pay a thing. Our goal is to get you the highest return possible, and we don't profit unless you do.
- How long does it take to sell a consigned vehicle?
- Most vehicles listed on consignment sell within 1 to 3 weeks, depending on condition, demand, and market price. We provide regular updates and can adjust the listing strategy if needed.
- Do I need to leave my vehicle with Carco?
- We recommend leaving your car at our secure Newmarket facility for faster sales and buyer convenience. However, if you prefer to keep driving it, we can still list it with mileage tracking and appointment-based viewings.
- What documents do I need to consign my car?
- You'll need your vehicle ownership, a valid photo ID, and any lien or loan details (if applicable). We'll help with any additional paperwork to ensure a smooth and legal sale.
- Can I cancel the consignment if I change my mind?
- Yes, you can cancel the consignment agreement at any time before a sale is finalized. There are no penalties or hidden fees if you choose to withdraw your vehicle from the program.
- Is the consignment program only for Newmarket residents?
- Not at all! While our hub is in Newmarket, we offer pickup services across Ontario. If you're nearby, you're welcome to drop off the vehicle, otherwise, we'll help coordinate logistics to bring it in for listing.
- What kinds of vehicles are accepted for consignment?
- We accept most used vehicles in good condition cars, SUVs, trucks, and even specialty vehicles. If your car has low mileage, a clean title, and decent service history, it's likely eligible. We'll assess it and let you know if it's a good fit.
